Tuition Fees & Hidden Costs

Common questions

Is the published annual tuition the whole school bill?

No. The published annual tuition is only one line. Application and enrolment charges, capital or development fees, bus, meals, uniforms, devices, and exam registration often sit outside that number.

How should Year 1 costs differ from later years?

Year 1 includes entry fees, first uniforms and kits, and any one-time capital or enrolment charges on top of tuition. Continuing years are recurring tuition, capital if it is annual, bus, meals, and support fees.

Which currency are official school fees published in?

Official fees are published in Vietnamese đồng (VND). USD and other currencies are approximate for planning only — confirm with the school.

Do sibling discounts cover every charge?

Sibling discounts, when offered, usually apply to tuition only. Confirm what is excluded.

Does Vietnam School Scout enrol students or charge schools to be listed?

Vietnam School Scout is an independent directory. We help families compare options — we do not enrol students, negotiate fees, or take placement fees from schools.
